Where: the Rock! (16 Sargent Street) Why: Food is filling and friends are fulfilling Who's cooking? Tim Messen Cost: $4 THURSDAY THURSDAY THURSDAY What: Dinertoure When 7:30 back by 10As, meet behind ROBO Why: As the dark days of winter fade, and the new light of this year shine down upon us, I begin to ponder the essential nature of alarm clocks, and their failings to. Timeliness is everything we're told, yet countless times I've surveyed from my kingdom (a.k.a my room overlooking the path betwixt the gym and Dartmouth Hall) and found students rushing to make their early classes, knowing all to well that they have slept in. How could this be so? In an age of technology should we not be kept from this most egregious of errors? Doth we not have the will, or the way, to start fresh everyday with ample time? I BESEECH YOU, oh Dartmouth students young and old, do not allow the shackles of slumber to grip you tight in bed. RISE. Fight against the "sleep" in your eyes, prevail over your night of festivities or studies, be like the fiery phoenix rising from the ashes, and join me in an epic adventure of pancakes, coffee, and whatever breakfast foods suit your fancy.
